The Orioles have been trying to trade starting catcher Ramon Hernandez for about a year now and he is better than any free agent out there so he might be moved before spring training. The Orioles should go back to the Astros and offer Hernandez straight up for righty starter/reliever Chris Sampson. The Orioles are in such dire straights for pitching that Sampson would probably step right into the starting rotation for them. The Orioles would then need to either trade for another catcher or sign a free agent unless Matt Weiters is ready to go.
